Long Form
Apple Deploying 1Password To All Employees, Acquisition to Follow?
BGR:
Apple acquires an average of 15 to 20 companies a year, according to CEO Tim Cook. Of that number, we only hear about a couple, as most of these acquisitions or aqcui-hires are not consumer-facing, nor disclosed. However, we have exclusively learned that Apple is planning an interesting partnership and a potential acquisition of AgileBits, maker of the popular password manager 1Password.
That would be an incredibly wise acquisition.
1Password is my first installed app on every device I own. I’d love to see it become native.
UPDATE: Definitely not happening.
